David Parnell is a public speaker, author, consultant, and
advocate for drug endangered children. He has literally spoken
to tens of thousands of people in over thirty states and in
three countries during the past five years about the dangers of
methamphetamine. He also has provided his services to legal and
medical professionals, politicians, and clergy when they are
looking for ways to combat methamphetamine or advance recovery
options.

David spent twenty-three years abusing drugs, seven
years of which he was addicted to methamphetamine.
Methamphetamine is highly addictive stimulant, which severely
affects the brain. Under its influence, he even attempted
suicide by shooting himself. He shot himself under the chin with
an SKS assault rifle, blowing his face apart. Though he
survived, he sustained severe injuries. To this day he still
occasionally undergoes reconstructive surgery.

David came out of
the grasp of methamphetamine after a hard and prolonged
struggle. As of June 23, 2010, he has 7 years and 4 months clean
and sober. Now, he focuses on drug prevention by educating and
warning people about the dangers of addictive substances,
particularly methamphetamine, in part by using his own life as
an example. He has received an overwhelming positive response
for his efforts.

David presents his lectures in schools,
churches, community group gatherings, jails, and rehabs. His
audiences include various sections of the society from students
to people recovering from substance abuse. His personal story
acts as both caution and inspiration to others. It cautions
others to stay away from addictive substances and inspires
people to get free from the spell of such substances. It also
makes people realize how drug use affects everyone and leads
them to get involved in the fight against drugs like
methamphetamine.
